If you've ever had to take a personality test when applying for a job, you're well aware the answers to the questions are far from obvious. Supposedly the tests help weed through applicants, but even if you're a good fit it's often hard to find the "right" answer. The Wall Street Journal put together a list of some of the common questions, and what the answers really mean.

The questions on these personality tests range from seemingly obvious points like "True or False: I like parties and socials," to the much more ambiguous, "On television, I usually prefer watching an action movie than a program about art." The action movie question, it turns out, is actually looking to see if you're more fact focused or creative. Unfortunately, you won't find a sure-fire correct way to answer the questions, but knowing what your answers really mean can help you get through your next test. Head over to The Wall Street Journal for a breakdown of the most popular personality questions you'll see.
